Mahmoud Abbas: "[The release of our prisoners] is a day of joy for our nation, for our people, for our heroic prisoners... This will not be the last time. There will be more groups of heroes who will come to us one after the other... They [the Israelis] postponed these heroes' release by 24 hours and this is something we do not accept... We congratulate you and ourselves for the [release] of these heroes."
[Official PA TV, Dec. 31, 2013]
